The following is my very personal opinion only. I'm sorry if it offends anyone.

Youbet SUCKS because it doesn't support the Macintosh. THERE SIMPLY IS NO EXCUSE FOR THIS IN THE YEAR 2005! Now, you'll likely hear seemingly sane and reasonable people make a case against having to design for Mac users. Don't believe them. This is to say that they're stupid, lazy, clueless people.

Years ago, ThoroGraph had the intelligence to offer downloads in Acrobat format, which accommodates both IBM and Mac. Hurray for ThoroGraph! They planned! Did Ragozin Data have the intelligence to do this? NO!

Years ago, BrisBet had the intelligence to offer live racetrack video streaming [using Windows Media Player] to both IBM and Macintosh users. Hurray for Brisbet! Does Youbet offer video streaming - even through Windows Media Player! - to Macintosh users? NO! Does XPressbet? NO!

[See my favorite old Saturday Night Live sketch with Gilda Radner about "Stupid People."]

As racing becomes more and more of an online wired game, there absolutely is no excuse for this.
